Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Sunday, reiterated the need for Nigerians to undergo regular medical check-ups and screening to ensure the early detection and management of ailments such as cancer, diabetes and other non-communicable diseases that pose a threat to healthy living.
Obasanjo made the call in Abeokuta, Ogun State, while flagging off the “Lagos to the World Expedition,” an initiative aimed at creating awareness about prostate cancer.
The “Lagos to the World Expedition” is an initiative of Nigerian entrepreneur and BMW enthusiast, Erik Nwagwu, who lost both his mother and sister to cancer and has dedicated the expedition to their memory and the fight against the disease.
Performing the flag-off with a ride in a BMW car at the Olusegun Obasanjo Presidential Library, Obasanjo commended the organiser of the expedition for choosing an initiative that would benefit humanity in honouring the memory of his mother and sister.
